As mentioned directly below, WB9LYH will be ON with the 144.240 long-range net tomorrow night, from EN54cl, central WI. Start time is 8pm central/9pm eastern and the antenna pattern is NE to start, then E, SE, S, SW, W, NW and N over the next hour or so. All licensed amateurs are welcome and the net is informal. The purpose is to create more activity on 2m SSB. DX is always encouraged to give it a try. WB9LYH had stacked 17B2’s and 500 watts from a ridgetop location so he’s up to the task. Please help us spread the word.

K9LQZ has been helping us out from time to time, also on 144.240. Lowell has a nice station from EM68, southern IN, a half hour NW of Louisville, KY. His goal is to find more activity in areas we can’t normally reach from WI. He does not look north, in order to minimize any potential QRM with WB9LYH.
If Lowell gets on, it’s supposed to be from about 9:20-9:40pm eastern time, and his antenna pattern is E, SE, S, SW and W.
I haven’t been getting email reports from K9LQZ, and he’s not on the ON4KST.com chat page, so I have no idea whether he’s actually been on or not. Hopefully he’s able to stir up some activity from KY/TN and the surrounding areas.
